Acquired the Scam Rune in the Academy
Chapter 74: The Forest Covered by Snakes (8) (2)

Even now, in this party, the only Holders who could use ultimate skills were herself and the party leader, Kwon Oh-jun.

Ssss-

Sssssss-

Tak, tak, tak, tak-

Such an ultimate skill unfolded from Do Jae-hyun’s sword.

A swift movement that seemed to utilize runic runes of the law type.

His speed accelerated, and it accelerated again…

His movements became so fast that they were no longer visible to the eye.

The smooth and rapid movements added a touch of elegance.

Do Jae-hyun’s sword moved as if it were dancing.

One by one, he dispatched the wooden snakes.

‘It feels like water…’

If he could combine the sword and water…

Maybe it would feel like this.

Do Jae-hyun’s sword was moving like flowing waves. Furthermore, Kang Juyeon, who possessed an ultimate skill, could tell.

‘…This isn’t his first time using it.’ sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

His ultimate skill was definitely not being used for the first time. Even Kang Juyeon, who had obtained [Inferno] a while ago, was still inexperienced in using it. Yet, Do Jae-hyun seemed to have grasped both the flow and structure of the skill perfectly, implementing the ultimate skill almost flawlessly.

Tak-tak, tak-tak, tak-tak.

Almost a hundred wooden snakes were near. In the end, they all knelt before Do Jae-hyun’s sword.

“Ah…”

“That… is…”

“….”

The surroundings were filled with exclamations. Even Lee Soo-mi, who had been concentrating on buffs, Kim Seong-cheol, who was trying to move the wooden snakes with wind magic, and Shin Yuna, who had been clenching her knuckles in resignation, all watched Do Jae-hyun in awe.

Everyone was left speechless as they looked at him, except for the wooden snakes that had flown towards Kwon Oh-jun and Choi Dong-wook, who had already received them.

Do Jae-hyun. This man had single-handedly defeated countless wooden snakes with his abilities alone.

“Ha… Ha…”

Do Jae-hyun, who was breathing heavily, lifted his head. His gaze first went to the left, where Lee Soo-mi was positioned.

“Ha… Ha… Holder Lee Soo-mi, can you cast buffs…?”

“Oh! Yes, I understand. Just a moment.”

Lee Soo-mi quickly regained her composure and approached him. She immediately concentrated her mind and extended recovery spells in both hands.

Emerald light in the left hand, violet light in the right hand. It was double casting, simultaneously using [Cure] and [Rest].

This was a technique only possible for an experienced high-ranking Holder of the recovery lineage, even among B-grade Holders. Do Jae-hyun, who was on the verge of collapse, quickly began to recover thanks to her.

“Phew… Thank you.”

“Huh? Isn’t your treatment not finished yet, Intern?”

“I don’t have time.”

Do Jae-hyun’s gaze turned forward again. There were even more wooden snakes in front, similar in number to those that had come from the rear.

And there, Kwon Oh-jun and Choi Dong-wook were under attack. They had managed to fend them off somehow, but they needed immediate support.

In addition to the wooden snake attacks, the Mountain Serpent, the main body of the dungeon, had completed its transition and was standing firmly in front. It was a situation where it wouldn’t be surprising if it launched an attack at any moment.

Do Jae-hyun turned his head once more. This time, his gaze was directed at Kang Juyeon.

“Kang Juyeon, can you still fight? I need your strength.”

I need your strength.

That one sentence struck Kang Juyeon’s mind. Her magic power was almost depleted, and she had no strength left to move. What strategy and method did he have in mind?

Countless questions that had been floating in her mind came to a halt with that one sentence. No other words were needed.

Kang Juyeon nodded silently.

“…Yes.”

“Okay. Let’s go forward together.”

Do Jae-hyun’s eyes quickly moved to the other party members.

“Seniors, the situation is urgent, so may I give orders? Do you all agree?”

“Eh- Of course. Intern saved all of us. We all agree, right?”

Lee Soo-mi immediately supported Do Jae-hyun’s proposal. When she turned her head to ask for opinions, Kim Seong-cheol, Shin Yuna, and even Min Chae-hwan, who had been preparing something in the back, nodded in agreement.

It was unanimous consent from all the rear members.

Do Jae-hyun quickly issued orders to everyone.

“Holder Lee Soo-mi, please assist Holder Kim Seong-cheol with healing. It might become necessary to use Holder Kim Seong-cheol wind magic again due to the urgent situation. Holder Kim Seong-cheol, please utilize your primary magic as efficiently as possible while conserving your strength. Shin Yuna, please provide protection for both Holders.”

“Huh- Got it..”

“Understood…!!”

Do Jae-hyun turned his head and looked at Min Chae-hwan.

“Holder Min Chae-hwan, please take over the covering fire until we get close to the boss monster. Min Chae-hwan, you are the Holder who has the greatest power among those in the rear.”

“… I do. So far the lady won’t get hurt.”

“Thank you.”

After giving orders to all the rear members, Do Jae-hyun turned his gaze back to Kang Juyeon.

“Let’s go.”

With those two simple words, Kang Juyeon felt her heart flutter for some reason. It was a strange feeling, perhaps because they were on the brink of the final battle, and her entire body was filled with tension. It was a new, unfamiliar, and exciting sensation, but she didn’t dislike it.

Kang Juyeon cautiously embraced that feeling and nodded slowly.

“…Yes.”

The monster was adorned with various gimmicks and complex abilities. The Mountain Serpent. They now had to hunt down this boss for real.
